THE Debate
Last night's debate was supposed to be the most watched televised event, second only to the really important U.S. televised spectacle, the Super Bowl (with or without wardrobe malfunction). I don't know if those numbers were achieved, but I did not watch the debate. I did, however, catch a chunk of a rerun of the debate.
The post debate online polls showed Hillary to be the winner. Of course, Hillary's fans mocked that kind of post-debate poll throughout the primary when Sanders won them, but are preening about them now. That is another example that they, like the Her with whom they are, have only one consistent principle: realization of Hillary's desire to be the first woman President. I can respect flexibility and compromise, but not total absence of consistent principles. But, I digress:
These are my "undeep," sometimes hyperbolic impressions of THE Debate last night:
Lester Holt, who is usually mild as milquetoast, interrupted Trump, hectored him, and contradicted him. He coddled Hillary, not even bringing up her "little" server/email issue (though Trump did) or the Clinton Foundation morass or the DNC's improprieties on her behalf or any of the irregularities of the primary. Trump also claims that his mike was not working in the room, that it was cutting in and out and crackling, while hers was perfect. (On air, it sounded fine, but I take The Donald at his word because why would anyone in politics lie?)
Hillary, I thought, came across like a cocky seventh grader, preening, smirking and calling names. She said things like, Go ahead and join the debate by saying more crazy things. Trump did not give an outstanding performance either. He could have, and should have, done much better, but, at the very least, he did not stoop to that level.
Moreover, I think he got her in a way she never got him. He said she has been in politics for 30 years. She said fewer, but, actually, she has been in politics since she got out of law school and her husband was first elected Governor thirty-seven years ago (but who's counting?), after a stint as AG. So, what are her accomplishments? Words without deeds don't impress me much. Still, the best things she is even saying now are the things on which Sanders campaigned, the ones she and her disciples often pooh poohed as unachievable. After all her years in politics, however many they are, why is she only now coming up with proposed solutions? Incredibly, she had nothing to rebut this other than to quibble (as I have) with his number of years.
Despite my impressions, the meme from establishment media is and will be that she performed impeccably. Really? Say more crazy things is impeccable? Scusi, but I could not disagree more. I would not allow or respect that in a debate for student government president in middle school.
Above all, I again curse Thing One and Thing Two for giving us these two wretched candidates. If this election is not a conclusive argument for more political parties, a more open process and a less biased mainstream media, I don't know what would be.

I didn't help the numbers either sorry...
When it comes to a choice between Clinton or Trump...
What difference does it make?
I'll just go with edited sound bites on YouTube for the good stuff to save time...
From what I've heard $hillary didn't collapse and twitch on the floor or blow out green chunks so I won't bother searching just yet... I have more important things to do...

Her eyes are crazy
I missed the very first part of the walking dead bore-fest (see my essay) and fell asleep somewhere between sound bites. But, particularly in the first part of the debate (when I was awake) her eyes were uncontrollably twitching all over the place and crossed at times. I believe she needs to continuously wiggle her head back and forth to keep from going into seizure mode. I tried move my eyes like that and failed. In fact, watching it made me dizzy.
Trump's eyes were closed to narrow slits but at least were steady.
From the Light House.
One of her eyes was almost closed.
Same thing I noticed, Alex, completely unnerved me!
What the heck was she doing with her eyes? I tried doing it, too, and it made my brain feel weird. After about 10 minutes, I gave up and went for a hike. Between the smirky smirk and the eyes, it was just too revolting.

No need to apologize for not raising the ratings of that

(I am just now listening to Granholm claiming "Hillary does not have the stamina to be President" is sexist. Apparently, by Granholm, "stamina" has something to do with broad shoulders and testosterone. How embarrassing for Hillary that her surrogates have to say fake crap like that to make sure they play the misogyny card daily!)
I didn't watch the debate after the first 10 minutes
I could hear it as my wife stay tuned.
If people were smart, they would turn to me for predictions on events like this. I predicted they would both give absolutely horrid - lied filled presentations. Short of feinting on stage, the MSM would pronounce Hillary the winner. Watch now as she gets a modest 4 or 5 point bump in the post debate polls. This bump will be salted away once Americans see her preening and gloating about how wonderful she is.
Thanks. We will soon see if that bump in the polls materializes.
I hope not.
Didn't watch either.
And I'm here to declare in front of Gawdhisownself and everybody that I was wrong: I would have lost significant money on a bet on my belief that no debate would happen. It amazes me that they were able to speedball her upright for 90 minutes, but so it goes. Perhaps Big Pharma donated more than just money.
I now am quite convinced that the polling is wrong: there are no undecideds. Those who want to vote for the Mad Bomber will do so. Those who want to vote for The Hairy Cheeto will do so. Those like me who want to vote for someone else will do so. Nobody is going to change their minds at this point. Those who are breathlessly reported as "undecided" by the pollsters very likely will stay home, since there's nothing much to choose from for the people who only pay attention after labor day: they'll never hear about anyone other than Tweedledum and Tweedledee, except perhaps as a sideshow to the circus. The pollsters need to poll for "couldn't fucking care any less", instead of "undecided", since that would be much more representative of the electorate.
What the hell. Since I've already been hugely wrong several times this cycle, I'll stick my neck out again: turnout isn't going to break 50%. Looking forward to my vote-by-mail ballot to show up. I'll fill it in that day and drop it at the county offices to be ignored, because fuck this shit. No smiley.
Thanks for an enjoyable read.

Point taken- it has been
too many years since reading the original source. Mea culpa.
Did just see an amusing new moniker for Trump, though: MangoMussolini. Gotta remember that one.
One last Public Service Message: just checked my voter registration status again, to see if I'd been "accidentally" purged since reregistering Green after my #DemExit. Nope, I'm still registered- so looks like they'll have to flip my vote after I cast it. There are still a few more weeks in which they can screw with the rolls, though. The Colorado Secretary of State web site makes it easy to check- other states may be as easy, or much harder.
In Colorado, the deadline for online and mail registration is Oct. 31, but you can register in person right up until Nov. 8, to correct any discrepancies that might somehow arise. So I'll be checking my status right up until I drop my ballot off at the county to be "counted". And even a couple of times afterwards, in case someone decides to jettison me after my vote is cast- that would be amusing, wouldn't it.
I have no, and I do mean zero, confidence in this process. To hell with trust: verify! Speaking strictly for myself, I'd recommend that everybody else stay on top of their status to prevent any surprises there (or at least to be aware of them)...

I believe in belt and suspenders, too.
If you can get a printout showing your party registration status, stick it in the envelope with your absentee ballot.
Hmm. Might want to be careful about that.
The mail-in ballots hereabouts come with dire warnings that if the instructions on how to stuff the ballot into the "privacy sleeve" and thence into the outer envelope aren't followed to the letter, the ballot will be invalidated. I'd pretty much guarantee that inserting something additional in there would send it right into the trash, at least here in Colorado. Your state and county may differ.
I personally would keep my documentation close at hand, carefully timestamped, but would not put it into that envelope for that reason. But if you haven't figured out that I am paranoid about this yet, you haven't been paying attention.... (;-)
Good to know!
Ah Jaysus it was just a j/k j/k
Oh, I know that-
but when I get something wrong, I like to own up to it. It's a character flaw... Besides, I just corrected that when I reposted a bit of that comment to WoTB. (;-)

It's Pretty Clear The Debate Questions Were Engineered
to highlight what a Crazy racist, misogynist bastard Trump is. Yet steered clear of any/all Clinton scandals and controversy.
Not a fan of Trump so fine, show what a whacko he is. But Holt gave Hellery a pass on virtually all her negatives.
Look at some of these questions pulled from the transcript
Trump brought up the issue of Clinton emails, so Holt asked Hellery if she wanted to respond. Clinton emails was not a scheduled debate question.
Donnie The #ShitHole Douchebag. Fake Friend to the Working Class. Real Asshole.
I don't thiink Trump even mentioned that Hillary's 2008 campaign
started the birther movement.
Also, Hillary was allowed to walk back calling the TPP the gold standard until she started running for President 2016 in earnest. However, Trump was not allowed to walk back the off the cuff remark on Howard Stern's show about the Iraq War, even though he took that back years ago.
The absence of any Clinton Foundation questions from Holt was quite telling as well.
He tried to
I must have missed that bit then.
Pacifica shows this morning are doing good coverage/analysis
Good! MSNBC is not.
Yup. IMO it was totally rigged for Hellery
And I will not be surprised to learn out later that Hellery got a preview of the questions. Hell, maybe the questions came directly from her campaign. I no longer rule out any criminal possibility.
And the way Holt kept pounding Trump on the "Obama birther" question was making me laugh -- it was that obvious. Did we really need to spend 15 mins on that shit?

Not necessarily engineered, just sharing a common origin
Clinton represents the corporate status-quo middle and so steers her points there, while Trump (representing a different faction of the oligarchy) often enough goes full-on wacko so that he can throw big bloody chunks of red meat to the Hannity-Limbaugh-Breitbart crowd that forms his shock troops. Holt also represents the corporate middle, so of course his questions and remarks will reflect that.
Thanks for the corroberating that the establishment media
is in bed with Clinton. Big media, Big capital, divisive identity politics, bait and switch electioneering - they're all their for their figurehead candidate.

Hillary Clinton

@HillaryClinton
Not a single living president has endorsed Donald Trump. http://hrc.io/2dtsbE1
The message from the above tweet says it all. She’s not running merely as a continuation of Obama’s last eight years, she’s running as a continuation of the last 40. A period during which median wages in real terms have barely budged, while income inequality has exploded. A period during which financialization has hollowed out America’s economy, while a handful of people reaped enormous wealth via labor arbitrage as they shipped manufacturing overseas. A period during which we have seen pointless war after pointless war, all in the pursuit of an enemy largely created by America’s imperial foreign policy in the first place. In other words, it hasn’t been a very good forty years for the average American. Nevertheless, it took a very long time for the public to figure it out, just like the boiling frog doesn’t get that it’s cooked until too late

Thank you for all those solid, irrefutable comments.
In the Oval Office in the last forty or so years: First, a Southern, fiscally conservative Democratic President who was a good man, but a fan of deregulation and who dismantled FDR's Bankruptcy Act, four years. Republicans Reagan, Poppy and Lesser Bush, twenty years. New Democrat Clinton, who eviscerated FDR's welfare program and went after FDR's Social Security program, eight years. New Democrat Obama, who put Social Security and Medicare on the table, eight years. Democrats 22, Republicans 20.
It's a small club
but they have that one thing in common, their contempt for the American people.

Watching the Zel Millers rejoice at the Bush endorsements
doth turn the stomach.
Forsooth!
Further to the issue of lack of principle that my blog entry mentioned briefly, when Republicans complimented Sanders during the primary, Hillary's fans were, or pretended to be (hard to tell which) aghast. Now that they are endorsing Hillary and she is using them in her ads, they cheer.
Their hypocrisy turneth my stomach and raiseth my gorge.
The final surprise is when you find you are no longer shocked...

Even now.
If it had been Obama himself, maybe I wouldn't have been as shocked. But she wasn't raised by the white upper-middle class. She damned well knows what Bush did to Black people, and what it would mean to be on the other end of that.

They practically wrapped Trump in glittered gift paper, put a shiny bow on him and handed him to her as her opponent. Why would they abandon her now?
Thanks for the comment, duckpin.
The Media is *always* with the GOP candidate...
Why would it be any different this cycle just because the GOP candidate is running under a Dem banner?
Nailed. It.
Last time that happened was 1872
The Democratic Party was in such a shambles after the Civil War (some states still hadn't been readmitted to the political process) that they couldn't field a candidate of their own, so they poached the chosen candidate of the Liberal Republican splinter party.
Unfortunately that was Horace Greeley, he was up against the incumbent Ulysses S. Grant, and his health completely failed in November 1872. He died after the election but before the electoral votes were officially tallied. (Since he lost, it wound up not mattering - but it's interesting how the electors scattered their votes.)

Hello HW!It's been reported recently that the CEO of Wells Fargo
will get a retirement package of $125+Million even though the bank has been found guilty of chiseling its customers and is facing a multi-billion dollar lawsuit from those who claim to have been defrauded. To me, this is the business-as-usual that Clinton represents and it's no surprise that the leaders of smash-and-grab capitalism are all in favor of her becoming president.
"The justness of individual land right is not justifiable to those to whom the land by right of first claim collectively belonged"
"smash and grab capitalism" How apt! I love it.
Which means, I shall likely steal it.
That's about the level of sophistication of the operation, isn't
it? When your business model is "anything the government let's me do" and the government let's Big Capital do virtually anything without criminal penalty, why spend the extra money hiding the cheating.

She wasnt even CEO
She was Divisional Senior Executive VP at Wells Fargo. Not President, not CEO, not CFO, not an investor.
Thanks for this. After I posted I looked more closely and she
was in charge of the area of customer sales and set quotas for the bank workers in that department and turned a blind eye to the bogus accounts that were being created and milked for fees. Over 5000 have been fired, not a small number even for Wells Fargo.
A telling point is that the bank knew of these unethical practice since no later than 2014 and said and did nothing.

I watched bits of it on DemocracyNow this morning
Jill Stein was also given a chance to answer the questions Holt presented. I thought Trump did OK in the bits I saw in that his answers were likely to appeal to those that actually might be thinking of voting for him. I am not sure the debate will sway more than about 10 people, however. As someone said upthread everyone has made up his or her mind. The electorate divides into the Hillary haters, the Trump haters, the so disgusted with the main parties that they are voting third party, and the so disgusted they are staying home.
Nailed. It.
Just taking this opportunity to quote the O/P. That is all...
Much appreciated. The punctuation makes all the
difference, doesn't it?
I think the ruffle makes all the difference, don't you?
Seems about right.
I am not sure. I think some people don't pay attention until the
debates start. The majority have made up their minds, yes, because the majority vote along party lines. However, political posters should never assume most Americans are like them. Conventional wisdom is that most Americans don't pay attention until after Labor Day.
I watched Jill Stein and her bootleg contribution to the debate.
I thought she did a good job.
Today, at this site:
http://www.democracynow.org/2016/9/27/expanding_the_debate_jill_stein_de...
there is part 1 and part 2 where Democracy Now inserts Jill in between the Other Two. They've actually created a real debate.

Thank you for the links!
Thanks so very much for that
Thanks so very much for that link. I'd expected Jill to come up with solid answers/solutions as opposed to the corporate/billionaire candidates, so no surprise either there or as to why they did not want her in the official debate.

some youtubes of Julian Assange yesterday and I'm beginning to lose faith. He says he will drop the bomb on clinton and it will be yuge. Maybe he's waiting to see how this joke of a debate turned out. Or maybe he's cutting a deal. Anyway, even with a release of something damning I'm sure the media will let it slide off her back....

I wish he would have dropped it during the primary. Still, better late than never.

Considering the number of damning Hillary-related things the media's let slide already, I doubt there's any limit to that - it has to be the people finally voting for survival, rather than the corporate two-party trade-off evils, and taking this last chance to refuse to accept the results of electoral cheating as a done deal that dooms them and the rest of us to a destructive and ultimately fatal-to-life-on-Earth-within decades-at-most corporate serfdom.

Trump did what he needed to do.
His performance wasn't great and he missed a lot opportunities. (Needed a good line about her emails, shouldn't have tied them to taxes.) Long winded answers when a single line would be more effective (e.g. on birther, "You started the birther rumor Hillary!"). Rambled on about his negatives (taxes) when he should have shut up and let them move on.
Still, for a first debate he established his stature vis a vis Hillary, looking at least as Presidential as she did (which isn't saying much but hey, everything's relative). His best moments were on NAFTA (where he had her stammering) and inner city crime. I don't agree with his prescription for the latter, and the thought of Rudy running DHS gives me the willies, but he came across as someone who wants to do something about all the shootings rather than just tut-tut how we all just need to get along.
Hillary succeeded in making it through without falling over, which in the MSM eyes means she'll be the bestest President EVAH! She landed some personal hits on taxes and bankruptcies, but her timing on these was ill placed, typically coming after Trump's answers on big national issues. Made her look churlish and petty. Her own answers to actual issues were far less specific and ethereal than her pointed attacks on Trump himself.
Regardless of what national polls say about the debate, I think Trump won with the voters he needed to reach, rustbelt voters who have been the biggest victims of globalism. That doesn't just mean whites. Polling shows his critique of the problems in Black and Hispanic communities that have voted Democratic for decades is already cutting into Hillary's lead, because people in these places know better than anyone how violent crime is destroying their communities. Trump was at his most coherent on this topic, and a lot of more conservative Hispanics and Blacks will appreciate his tough talk about getting guns off the streets.
All in all, Trump came across as someone who is passionate about changing the way things are done. Whatever you think about his solutions (and I'm more than dubious), he is clearly offering something different while Hillary is just more of the same. Especially this year, more of the same doesn't cut it.
The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?
Thanks for that analysis.
Your signature line is perfection!
I work with a lot of young people
Who thought Trump's question about what Hillary and the rest of the politicians in D.C have done in the last 30 years was the only truthful thing anyone said. They also didn't watch the entire 90 mins and from what they saw, they thought Trump won.
It made me wonder how many others out there didn't watch the entire debate and also asked themselves what politicians have been doing for the last 30 years?

But pains there make me feel threat. I had enough US of upper abdomen to know that I had a liver, function capacity unknown. That is what you get. And also prophylactic vaccinnes for HepA . I was also asked, every US, if I had gall bladder symptoms. I have a biology-related PhD so I can read, no. Until Sat night, and maybe for a month before vague symptoms that could mean nothing or death within a month. I had been told my gall bladder was full of gallstones. Nope, asymptomatic like the majority with gall stones. Die with them, not a cause. I also had R arm pain, R back pain, arm pain extending occasionally into my neck. Turns out to be a classic symptom. Good thing I can describe what my body feels.
I saw my Asian PCP, she listens and talks when needed. My son's current partner is the same way. All I got, besides my $20 copay was the 2016 flu vaccine, I am up to date on all vaccines, just need a mammogram for the next 2 years.
SO I see the surgeon Wed aft, who can review the radiologist and my then-bloodwork. And will get my gall bladder extracted. All I can do at home is l have my PCP reassure me that recovery time is minimal from laparoscopic surgery, but she won't guarantee overnight stay and home healing. Such is the crap that singles must plan before an event. And I am 30 years older than my only other lap surgery.
Small hand holding and encouraging words might work. Pix of pets and flowers! And rocks work for me! Sorry, but I find you a sympathetic group of virtual friends.
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
Sending you many giant HUGs

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
I am sorry. I am missing something.
Arm pain occasionally extending to the neck is a classic symptom of what?
